Parliament's ECON committee backs studying a 28th tax regime
Non-binding own-initiative report (procedure 2025/2211(INI)), separate from the EU Inc regulation (COM(2026) 321).
On 3 June 2026 the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs committee (ECON) adopted Ľudovít Ódor’s own-initiative report (36 votes to 18, 2 abstentions, ECON-PR-785418), urging the Commission to examine an optional EU “28th tax regime” alongside the EU Inc company-law proposal — covering areas such as withholding tax, the corporate tax base, loss relief, R&D incentives and employee share schemes, while respecting member states’ fiscal sovereignty. It is a political signal, not law: an own-initiative report (procedure 2025/2211(INI)) that was due for a plenary vote in early July. It underscores the central limit of EU Inc as proposed — EU-ESO harmonises only the timing of stock-option taxation, while rates and most tax matters stay national. Follow the file on the tracker.
